MonoRail to reduce traffic in Mumbai
Mumbai : The commissioning of country’s first monorail is expected to considerably cut down traffic on Mumbai’s roads and reduce pollution as well. As per estimates drawn by the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA), BEST bus trips could go down by 5,000 a day, while, in the case of taxis and autorickshaws, it could go down by 10,000 once the monorail is operational.
“Monorail will, for sure, help save large quantity of fuel used for buses, taxis, auto-rickshaws and private vehicles. The safe, air-conditioned and comfortable mono is expected to attract most of the private vehicle owners as it will cover a 21-km distance from Chembur to Jacob Circle via Wadala in about 35-40 minutes. This ride will also cut down on fuel expenditure, travel time and parking woes faced by private vehicle owners,” said Ratnakar Gaikwad, Metropolitan Commissioner.
